Big thank you to Microsoft for awarding me for the 5th year in a row with the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) award in the category of Microsoft 365 Apps & Services. More than anything in the ever-evolving world of technology, I enjoy most with the community at the events and conferences is sharing and learning from others over the years and it is this technology passion that drives me continuously forward.

The MVP award stands as a beacon of such a recognition and celebrating with approximately 3000 fellow MVPs around the world for outstanding community contributions.

I was also fortunate earlier this year when I got the opportunity to visit MVP Summit at Microsoft offices in Redmond, USA to learn all the latest developments and what’s cooking with their products and providing feedback to help shape them.

Every year as an active MVP, we are put through a rigorous evaluation process by Microsoft where our contributions to the community are assessed and it’s by no means a guarantee that every year is awarded, so I also want to thank the Tech community, fellow MVPs, friends & family for supporting me in this journey of community involvement and engagements.

Finally, I encourage you if you’re involved in community to come forward and be part of the MVP programme and willing to support you where I can! Head over to MVP portal for more information. https://mvp.microsoft.com

So, here’s to the new year and looking forward to giving back to community and hope to see you at some event!
